Richtiges Deutsch

Walter Heuer's standard work "Correct German" is already in its 32nd edition. Originally conceived in 1960 as a teaching tool for typesetters and proofreaders, the book has since become the most important reference work for anyone who writes professionally. Is it "on the first of every month" or "on the first of each month"? Should "get to know" be written as one word or two? Is it "Goldau" or "Gol-dau"? A look in "the Heuer" brings clarity. This book provides a comprehensive overview of doubtful cases and common mistakes, taking Swiss peculiarities into account. Additionally, "Correct German" serves as a thorough and competent language school, conveying fundamental knowledge about the German language in a compact and understandable manner. Its clear structure encourages self-study: starting with the basics of word and form theory as well as sentence structure, the book progresses to spelling and punctuation, concluding with the nuances of style. Whether it's about refreshing known knowledge or looking up doubtful cases, this book is an indispensable tool for anyone who wants to write correct German, both professionally and privately. "The work is aimed at grammatically and linguistically interested laypeople as well as professional writers, experts in the graphic industry, students, and pupils. The guidelines of the spelling reform are generally adopted, but clearer rules are often established.".
